8L A3/S3 Owners Past Car memories (Picture heavy!)

[future]

My last car was a mk4 16v polo in black, was stupidly low 120mm iirc and on tucked and colour coded bbs rm split. Loved that car so much! And minty I remember your polo from clubpolo looked wicked! But as far as I know mine is ina million bits after the next owner killed the gear box

First car, 306 1.8 Sedan

3 Series

Golf GTi

306 DT

Current A3 1.8T

Also had 6 mk2 Golf's, 4 mk1's (still got 2 haha) and 3 mk3's. But they were bought, fixed and sold, not driven so much.

My favourite being:

Which I regret selling hugely (needed the money) and bought another black mk1 project to replace it.

Also have a Fiesta pick up (The Fick-up) which was the result of an MOT failure, boredom and access to a large grinder. Still got it now the good old girl:

And finally my S3

 

[Prawn]

Not got pics of all the motors I've had, but here's the highlights:

First car on the road ages 17, the mini. 7 years later it now looks like this:

then after a few other shitters for dailys, I got the black A3. Which ended up like this:

then got bored of it because I thought it was slow and bought this:

What a stupid mistake! had it 4 months before buying my A3 back! turned out it was a hidden boost leak on the a3. Fixed it and all was grand again!

With the boost leaks fixed, it went over to the ring a few times:

Ran the A3 for another year, before reaching 200k whilst out at the ring, so decided that there was nothing better within my price range, so i bought another!

 

[JS1500]

Quality Prawn, loving your Mini.

My Midget was my first car, bought at age 17.
Now it looks like this...
